Final Flashcards
Parkinson Disease
Neurodegenerative disorder which targets dopamine-generating cells in a region of the brain known as the substantia nigra
- Men are 1.5 times more likely to have Parkinson (estrogen)
- Classification
- Idiopathic
- Vascular
Spinal cord injury
Damage to any part of the spinal cord or nerve at the end of the spinal cord
-
Spacticity
resistance to a passive stretch
“velocity dependent exaggerated stretch reflex”
- Must work slow for those with spasticity
Rigidity
Involuntary bidirectional non-velocity dependent resistance to movement
clonus
a series of involuntary muscular contractions due to sudden stretch of muscle (MS,Stroke, SCI)
( agonist triggered)
Dystonia
Involuntary sustained contractions resulting in twisting posture
chorea
small, involuntary, rapid, irregular, unsustainable movements
Ballisms
Involuntary flinging movements of one side of limbs or body; BIG
Tremor
Involuntary rhythmic repetitive oscillations (PD)
Dyskinesia
a movement disorder consists of diminished voluntary movements and the presence
Hypokinesia
decreased bodily movement associated with basal ganglia
slow processing of movement and response time
Akinesia
absence of movement; difficult selecting motor programs
Bradykinesia
slowness of movement;
CV endurance=CR endurance
Te capacity of the cardiorespitory system to deliver O2
Cardiac out put
stroke volume x Heart Rate (vol/min)
- The amount of blood pumped by the heat
Maximal Oxygen Uptake
The max amount of O2 that can be utilized at cell level
True resting heart beat
3 morning pulses
Resting HR
60-100
pulse sites
radial/carotid/temporal
